Boosted Falcon

Best buy - DF cornering lights $50.
ED XR6, lowered, 17's, zorst mint $6600, thrash for 9 months, smash. Get $6600 back.

Worst - EF Fairmont, 350000k's - $4k.
Minispool for the ED......

overall best buy is my Lokka though, but not an E-Series buy

Best Purchase: 1994 ED Falcon GLi in decent nick with a fresh auto for $1350

Worse Purchase: $400 3.45 LSD off of eBay that was found to have carrier bearing issues after install.

Worst. Green EF 94 Futura stock as a rock (no Mags) 240K's $15,000 from motor finance wizard.

Best. Champagne EF 97 Futura 200k's $2200 a year later

you paid 15 grand for a ef futura. what year? by the sound of it not that long ago. sounds like you kind of deserved to get stooged.

Worst Part-Clear tail lights, thought it would be good but just diddn't work well. Dan said they were shit, i should have agreed

Best Part-Turbo kit, although the Clear indicators lifted up the front of the ED so well.

Worst buy - XR6, in retro spec i should have sold my ED and spent all my money on a 180, now i'll never get one. They look good but my reasons for buying one were just to have somthing more driftable and a pose.

Best buy - XR6, i love the El Xr looks and its became a project (moneypit), and being a ford man i enjoy owning a falcon, its newish, a bit more unique then owning an import or a BA. In reality, i probally would have got tired of the 180...

My Ed was a good buy, its hard to let go of your first car.

It was 2 years ago. i got a loan to buy the car because i couldn't get finance from anywhere else due to some indiscretions in my younger day's after it killed 3 transmissions (under warranty) due to a buggered stall converter and a head gasket i got legal advice and voluntary surrendered the car got out of it for $580 Phew

best buy: a 800watt rms velocity amp for $100 unused with wiring kit and distribution block
worst buy: puting a minispool in and f*cking up my tailshaft

It was 2 years ago.

Jesus, you must have REALLY wanted it! Surely the average price for an EF Futura 2 years ago would've been $3-4k... My wagon (albeit GLi) was $2600 when I bought it 2 years ago.

My worst buy.....a 5 speed eb with a farked engine, little rego left, stuffed tyres, stuffed interior....and god knows what else stuffed for 1500 bucks.....lent it to a mate and he had it 12 months! Gearbox has now gone into my el and the rest to a mate.

My best buy.....A 94 EF Gli on gas for 500 bucks, rego till july (this was in early jan this year), good tyres, new brakes, sony headunit and pioneer speakers..... It had a stuffed front end, I spent 100 bucks on a rad support panel and had all the other bits to fix it. It has been a bloody good daily for the last few months!!

Worst = eb xr6

best = eb xr6

only had the one car

Just picked up brand new, genuine ford, front and rear bars for $250

Best - EL gli for $3000. Before you laugh parents owned it from new and only had 160000km when I got it 3 years ago. Have done 50000km's since and haven't had a single thing go wrong, plus it is cleaner than any other e series I have seen for sale (been to look at 9 "immaculate" ghia's, xr6/8's this year).

Best- EB2 Ghia wreck, good money maker
Worst- EF Ghia, constantly fixing broken shit and was very annoying with all the rattles and squeeks. 300k will do that. it looked good tho.

best buys-
brand new king ssl rears for $25
pacemakers and 2.5 redback zorst for a slab
brand new dunlop sp 3000s on 17" ba stockies for $400
